Some plant baits such as moss, potatoes, wheat grains, corn-covered rice and even some algae can be used to catch red-tailed fish, and some animal baits such as shrimp, lotus root on the stone, mud silkworm, earthworm and silkworm chrysalis can also be used. In addition to these two kinds of bait, you can also use white rice and distiller's grains pig hearts that are common in life. Commercial bait purchased can also be used. If you want to make your own bait for catching red-tailed fish, you need to mix raw corn flour, honey and corn essence evenly, and then steam them with appropriate amount of water. The reason why there are so many baits for fishing red-tailed fish is that red-tailed fish is an omnivorous fish, which eats a lot and is not picky about food.
